There is proof the execs knew?
Yes, and you need look no further than the admissions of this in the settlement. But regardless, if they did not know, it is criminal negligence. Hefty personal fines and a bit of jail time would be good deterrence to executives so willing to look the other way or not put in place fraud protections to prevent this behavior.
but, they did know, so there you have it.
It's just sad that we have posters who are down right too lazy to read the article. They are too lazy to read my post with the link.
If they had, the russian troll you replied to never would have asked that very stupid question.
Of course the executives new about it and participated in it. One was fined 17.5 million dollars for his part in the scheme. Other executives were fined lower amounts for their part in the scheme.
This is just stupid. The executives are guilty. They should have gone to prison.
The workers who did the ground work, should have faced some consequences too. Maybe if people knew they would end up in a lot of trouble they would not commit crimes their bosses order them to commit.
